I have found a wonderful bottom for purses.
I use a piece of balsa wood and cut it down to fit the bottom.
I cover it with fabric so it does not show and it outlasts cardboard and foam board.

When I don’t need a rigid, just a firm bottom I use plastic canvas cut to size covered with fabric.
This sounds great! I use a piece of floor tile and cover it.
Great idea and probably inexpensive as compared to the plastic ones they sell which only come in certain sizes.
That is a good idea. You could also use plastic canvas. You can cover this with fabric and it is easy to handwash and dry when it is dirty.
sounds good to me! Thanks for sharing this.
I use a piece of plastic arborite that you can cut with scissors. It bends but is firm enough to hold the contents of a grocery bag…
I have an over abundance of large (14-22 gallon) rectangular storage box lids (Rubbermaid,Sterite, etc.). I cut these up for plastic bottoms in purses and totebags. A little more rigid than the plastic canvas, but then, never thought of plastic canvas. I’ll try that, too.
I just found you guys, thanks so much I have been using cardboard and any one of your ideas beats that.
